Chapter 80: Chapter 80 This Misunderstanding Is A Bit Huge

“Good memories? I was studying at a police academy. All I had were horrible memories. I only had backache and leg cramps in my memory.” Dong Xiaoye bit off a huge chunk of meat from the chicken leg like a tiger, but chewed it very gracefully, then suddenly she eased her tone and chuckled, “the taste of this roasted chicken leg is actually much worse than it was in the past.”

“Huh?” I was confused, “didn’t you say that you were studying at a police academy?”

“Yes.”

“Then how did you know that this roasted chicken leg is much worse than it was in the past?”

Dong Xiaoye’s warm expression immediately dimmed a lot, and her smile seemed to be frozen for a moment.

“My elder sister graduated from this university,” the soft voice made me question if this was really the voice coming from her mouth. This was too gentle.

“Oh.” Whenever she mentioned her elder sister, I always felt that Dong Xiaoye’s reaction was not quite right. I wanted to ask, but I also felt like I was being too nosy.

“What you said also makes sense, this thing indeed tastes like the youth I lost,” Dong Xiaoye quickly collected herself. Then she grabbed another chicken leg and started to munch it, “I still remembered that last time I ate the chicken leg, I was still ten years old, in a flash, sixteen years have passed…”

“So you are twenty-six?” I couldn’t help but say. The main reason was that regardless of her appearance and temperament, she was really not like a 26-year-old woman. I couldn’t find even a little bit of maturity and stability in her body.

“You …” Dong Xiaoye’s tanned skin turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly said, “it was a mistake, it was actually, actually, six years, yes, six years have passed…”

I was completely speechless. Does she not even feel shame? If it was six years, that meant she was sixteen now. Elder sister tiger indeed deserved to be called the elder sister tiger, not only her temper was like a tiger, but her brain was also like a tiger.

But Dong Xiaoye was still not too dumb after all. After realizing that she had just given an unrealistic age, she immediately patted the table and shouted to me, “Hey, you! What exactly do you want? Stop finding different ways to ask about my age!”

I was speechless…

“When do you mean by finding different ways?” I felt wronged, “Elder sister Tiger… I mean, Xiaoye, if you didn’t say it, I thought we were about the same age… No, I think you are much younger than me. Look at you, so youthful and pretty…”

“Youthful and pretty? Stop flattering me, I know that I don’t look pretty,” Although Dong Xiaoye didn’t want to admit it, there was a faint shyness flashed on her face. Girls liked to be praised, and she was no exception. She couldn’t help but smile, “saved your sweet nothings for other women.”

“I just like to say it to you…” I casually replied without thinking too much about it. But as soon as I said it, I realized that it was too ambiguous.

Sure enough, Dong Xiaoye was taken aback. Unable to tell whether she was ashamed or angry, her beautiful eyebrows twitched a few seconds, and immediately bit a piece of chicken, chewing and laughing, “this sweet nothings will not work on me, Chu Nan, since you are also bored today, let’s have a fight after this meal. It’s not fun to just bicker with you. How about this old lady giving you a chance?” As soon as she finished, she straightened her back to make her busty chest even more prominent. It was a pity that before I even said anything, her face already turned red, and then she couldn’t help but lower her head down in embarrassment.

Although at the moment, she looked very cute, I would not fall into her honeytrap. She was clearly angry and wanted to beat me up, so I quickly shook my head and said, “forget it, I still have a business here, and I dare not to waste your time. Didn’t you say that you were busy? Next time, if I am free, I will call you. By the way, thank you for the ride today.”

“Coward,” Dong Xiaoye glanced at me in disappointment and then said, “I almost forget it, what exactly do you want to do here? Since the beginning, you have been looking around. Are you looking for someone or did you have an appointment with someone?”

Before I was able to answer her, I heard a serious and deep voice appear from behind, “Xiao Nan, why are you looking for me so urgently?”

Dong Xiaoye was just holding a chicken leg and trying to bite it. When she heard someone greet me, she quickly put down the chicken leg, wiped her lips, and stood up with an oily chin.

I got up and introduced her, “Xiao… cough… Officer Dong, this is my dad, Dad, this is my friend, Dong-”

“Your dad?!” I was interrupted by Dong Xiaoye before I even finished introducing her. God knows what she was thinking, her face blushed and then looked at my old man nervously.

My old man heard me call her an officer, he was a little surprised, “Your last name is Dong?”

“Ah? Oh, hello uncle!” Dong Xiaoye hurriedly reached out, wanting to shake hands with my old man, but then realized that her hands were very oily. She quickly wiped her hands on her trousers. She looked so sloppy and untidy that my old man and I both couldn’t help but laugh.

Dong Xiaoye heard that I was also laughing, she immediately glared fiercely at me, “Chu Nan, why didn’t you tell me that you are here to your… see Uncle? You want to embarrass me, right?”

“Why would I want to embarrass you?” I also realized that what I did was indeed not appropriate. It was just that I didn’t think that there was anything to worry about when having a meal with my old man. After all, I really came here for the sake of business.

If it weren’t for my old man, who was still standing in front of me, Dong Xiaoye would have probably already rushed up to punch me. However, my old man didn’t seem to mind it. He shook hands with her and smiled, “Let’s, sit down, I will help you punish him.”

Dong Xiaoye was very happy when she heard this, but when she saw my old man’s ambiguous gaze, she immediately understood that my old man had misunderstood our relationship. Her face blushed even more, but she didn’t know how to explain it. I was also surprised, my old man was quite imaginative.

“Your surname is Dong?” As soon as my old man sat down, he repeated the question again.

“Mhm, Dong, as in winter.” Dong Xiaoye was very nervous, with both of her hands on her knees, while she sat with her back straight. After working as a teacher for decades, my old man imposing manner was also quite powerful.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” I felt that my old man’s reaction was a bit abnormal, why was he so interested in people’s surnames?

“Oh, it’s nothing, I just think that the surname Dong is rare in Bei Tian City,” my old man cleared his throat, and then smiled at me, “You are so inconsiderate, why didn’t you tell me that you are bringing your girl… cough, bringing a friend over, I am not prepared for this.”

Prepared for what! I was speechless.

Dong Xiaoye was so embarrassed that she hurriedly said, “Uncle, you have misunderstood us! We are just ordinary friends!”

“Yeah, we just became friends not long ago, and she just gave me a ride, because we just happened to bump into each on the road.” I also explained.

“I understand, I understand,” my old man smiled and calmed down Dong Xiaoye, then frowned and whispered to me: “You little brat, look at this stupid thing you did, she is a girl and you two just met each other not long ago, of course she would feel nervous when you take her to see me. You need to give her some time.”

Give her some time? I almost burst out laughing. It seemed like he still thought that Dong Xiaoye was my girlfriend.

Dong Xiaoye felt so embarrassed that she wanted to hide under the table. I didn’t want to waste time explaining it. Instead, I sighed, “dad, I am really here for a business.”

My old man was happy, probably because he thought that he would have a daughter-in-law soon, he simply smiled and said, “What is it?”

“I want to know what kind of person Guo Xiang is.” I thought for a second and said.

“Huh?” Hearing what I said, my old man was dazed…

. . .

Since I was young, whether it was in the eyes of my old man or my own feelings, I have always been an ordinary, and decent kid. I didn’t give him any troubles, nor did I do something that made him feel proud. Therefore, in my memory, he never praised me much in front of outsiders, perhaps it was mainly because of Chu Yuan. That girl has always been the only child that he always wanted to show off to others, and I act more like a foil.

But just now, the amount of compliments he gave to Guo Xiang was more than the amount of the compliments I received from him my entire childhood. I felt very jealous. I was willing to be a foil for Chu Yuan, but I couldn’t lose to that guy…
